EMIN PASTA. -Emin is an Austrian ply
stefan. He led an adventurous life, was a
great traveller, feared nothing, and was
bravest and noblest when most be was in
danger. He entered the British military
service. Eight years ago Chinese Gordon
appointed him governor general of the
equatorial provinces of Egypt. Since then
be has been the virtual ruler Of over six
millions OF people. His influence among
them has been tremendous. In three years
he suppressed the slave trade, and made
his name feared and respected throughout
the immense territory. When he took the
Office there was deficit of $50 900 q year in
the finances. He not only made the gov.
eminent self-supporting and reduced the
taxation, but he increased the revenue in
all directions TO such al extent that in a
few years he showed an annual surplus OF
$4,000. More than that, he has done more
to civize the people than any
thousand men that ever visited his
section He has established schools
and postoffces, taught the natives
agriculture, showd them how to make soap
and induced them to use it, taught them to
make and wear shoes and boots, and did
everything that scientist and a philanthro.
pist and statesman could do to make the
savages independent and self.reiant. Now
this brave man is shut in and surrounded
by hostile tribes. He has only two or three
thousand Indifferent soldiers at his COM
mand, and has, besides, many women and
children to defend and protect. The last
word received from him was over six
months ago. He then calculated that his
ammunition and supplies would last until
the end of the year. That time was up
over three weeks ago. aud it will be several
months before assistance can reach him.

Senator Riddleberger said to friend: 81
propose showing the Senate that l have
some rights in that body and do not intend
that | shall always be looked upon as one,
like many of the others, simply occupying O
seat in the chamber. l have my opinion
upon subjects, and have the same right to
express myself as those who have been
elected to the Senate because Of their vast
wealth. I have never opposed anything
that thought was proper. There Is too
much arstocracy in the Senate, and q grow
ing tendency upon majority Of Senators to
do everything except what is American.
1t is not body representing the people of
the country, but, upon the contrary, kind
of club where none but the rich and arbi-
trary are wanted. A poor man in the Sen
ate is treated by many of his brother SEN
ators as an outlaw and looked upon with
scorn and derision. | am poor and am
proud Of it, and all the time l have been
here there has been only one Senator who
has shown me the courtesy OF inviting me
to his house. This was Senator Palmer, of
Michigan. | asked him if it was necessary
tocomein evening dress and he said it was. L
could not go because did not have the money 10
spare with which to purchase the conventional
evening dress suit. 1t may be- continued the
Senator, that because do not wear dress suit
l am not appreciated by my colleagues
7 he Senator for the last few days has been con-
sderiug the question of resigning, and will prob
ably resign at the assembling of the Fiftieth Con-
gross. II think" he said, that in the event of
my resignation | will enter the State Senate Of
my State and do what can to repeal some OF the
odious laws that are upon the statute books,
which have been enacted under the Malone rule
l know that Malone despises me, but | do not
care for that. II l could control every vote in
tho State, Malone would buy them away from
ME in fifteen minutes. Malone has q standing in
the Senate because he has money. l have done
as much fer the people of Virginia as he. The
other Senators can speak of me as they like, but
they cannot buy me, neither can they force me to
vote at all times in tho interest Of corporations
and array myself on the side of the would-be
aristocracy. = Wash. cor. N. Y. World.

TEER. & D. OFFICEs.-The Board Of Di-
actors of the Richmond and Danville Rail-
road Company met in New York few days
400 and adopted the following
Res0lred That it is the sense ofthis Board
that the offices of the president and first
,,ire.nresident and. all business appertaining
thereto be removed to New York, and that
the operating department be removed to
richmond, Va, and that the executive COM
,nittee be authorized to carry out this policy
The following officers it is stated, will Ger.
tainIv be removed to Richmond. Auditor
Parher's. with large clerical force; Treas
nTer Turner's General Freight Agent
brakes. and General Passenger Agent Tay-
Ior's. The office of genera! counsel will also
he in Richmond. 1t was thought that Gen
eral Manager Thomas would be required to
come hack to Richmond, with the rest OF
Inc officers; but since the East Tennessee,
V;rojpia and Georgia line has been added TO
the Richmond and Danyille system, and the
probability existing that the Georgia Cen
trol will also be added, the Executive Com
Inittee of the Danville have allowed the
General manager to locate his headquarters
to suit himself. While it is possible that
Richmond may be selected by him, it is
nrobable that he will either remain in
Washington or locate in Que of the cities
south of Richmond. He was to have visi-
ted the president and first vice-president in
New York the past week with reference to
this matter; but what decision, if any, was
reached has not yet been made public
The removal Of the offices to Richmond,
il is stated will be made NJ an early day.
The towering and handsome building pur-
chased in Washington last summer by Mr..
Huidekoper, in which the general offices
now are, will be eigther leased or sold.
1t has been currently reported for sever
al days that the Terminal will soon pur-
chase the Georgia Central. Major Dooley
said on Saturday that this is only matter
of speculation. The bulk of the Central
stock is held in New York: rs holders
have made no offer to the Terminal, nor
has it to them. How soon one or the
other may make proposal is not known.
The Terminal directors have not decided
upon any action to be taken in the matter.
The general bclief--and no doubt the prob
abily-is that the Terminal will have the
Central before spring.
